nüvi 755/755T

12th May 2010, 04:22

Anyone here in the Orange County, CA area having problems with the traffic receiver? According to Navteq, my area is well covered, but I consistently get no signal on Hwy 22 and when there is signal, traffic report stays green when there has been traffic for at least a half hour or more on all lanes. I have not received any helpful traffic updates for months (actually I've recieved NO traffic reports. It's either green or grey). The only reason I purchased the 755T was for the traffic feature...

I am in LA, CA. I have a Nuvi 660 with the GTM20. Recently, I had problems with the traffic updates. As of last night, I wasnt getting anything. But, this morning, it fired up no problem and seems to be working fine now. Hopefully, it was just a temporary glitch.

It has the latest firmware 4.0 map update from Garmin 2010.40. The Garmin folder shows 1.2GB. How do I check to see what map I have. When I used the GPS with an destination I get a normal map with streets and exits.

Hi raindrop
To find which maps you have press tools, settings, Map, Map Info then you will see all the maps

Using the Latest RED Light Camera files: one each: Red_Light_Camera_us BMP File / Wave Sound File / GPX File... I placed the SOX in the POI Folder and used the POI Loader. All installed without error message, yet I get no warnings at all when approaching sites. Interestingly the speed indicator on the GPS now turns RED when overspeeding. Any suggestions as to an alternate method? There seems to be only a couple of step by steps (my speed) methods I could find..... Thanks!!!!

I have a 755 and all the POI alerts work fine including US speed and safety cams. I've never tried WAV files and SOX though. I "thought" that the WAV/SOX combo was only for GPS devices that couldn't play MP3 files. I always use MP3 sound files on my 755 for my custom POI's.

I don't know your problem might be, but to clarify, SOX does not go in the GPS POI folder, it goes in the folder where the POI loader is installed on the PC.

As far as I know, the speed indicator turning red has nothing to do with the POIs and what you are doing. As I recall, that feature came to life in the 755 a while back with one of the firmware updates.

Tiger... You were absolutely right! The instruction I originally found failed to detail the installation of the SOX converter into the POI Installer folder… Once I did that, it correctly did the conversion. And the comment regarding the Speed Icon turning RED makes sense, as I just did a software update from Garmin, and it must have been included in that, though it wasn’t specified to my knowledge in the download. Do you know by the way what is the latest Garmin Red Light Camera package date, and if a newer one than the 2/26/11 exists? Thanks again for your assistance

I don't lnow about the Garmin Versions of the cameras as I don't use them. Glad it worked out for you.
